Members of the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, Rochester Police department and other local agencies will be conducting a full-scale Homeland Security exercise today.

Residents may notice increased law enforcement presence in several locations within Monroe County throughout the day Wednesday. A county spokesperson said residents are encouraged to proceed with normal day-to-day activity.

The exercise will not impact 911 services or emergency response.

"A standard procedure, this exercise is being conducted to test core capabilities for on-site incident management, interoperable and emergency communications, and law enforcement response operations in relation to a variety of mock terroristic events across Monroe County," the spokesperson said.
